The Red Pop strain is a premium strain from Exotic Genetix, an industry-leading Tacoma-based breeder. If you’re from a place that calls soda “pop,” then this strain’s name may remind you of a fruity and sugary treat. Red Pop’s genetics are reflective of just that. The strain is a cross between Strawberry and Cookies & Cream, lending it a range of fruity and creamy flavors and aromas.

Red Pop by Exotic Genetix is an indica-leaning hybrid strain (60/30) that shows smokers what true top-shelf Washington cannabis is. The meticulously crafted flower sits around 20% THC and boasts a high terpene content.
“Not only does this Red Pop S1 smell amazing, but the infusion of big terps and big yield on everything touched by her is the real magic. Each and every one is special in their own way, no doubt. If there’s one limited drop to not miss out on all year, this would be the one.”
Family History & Effects
As a cross between Strawberry and Cookies & Cream, Red Pop has both unknown and familiar strains in its lineage. Its Strawberry parent is a mysterious strain originating from the Netherlands. While its genetics are unknown, its effects are known to be sativa-leaning, offering a potentially uplifting and energizing experience.
Conversely, its Cookies & Cream parent boasts classic strains in its lineage, including Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Starfighter. Thus, the hybrid strain lends Red Pop more potentially relaxing effects that may lead to an early night’s sleep. Cookies & Cream was also originally bred by Exotic Genetix and has won multiple awards.

Therefore, as a mix of sativa-leaning and indica-leaning strains, Red Pop offers a potential variety of recreational and medicinal effects. This strain may be a good companion for a rainy day inside doing something creative or relaxing, or conversely, it may assist in a pain-free, solid night of rest. Furthermore, many find Red Pop potentially helpful for anxiety and depression.
Additionally, its most dominant terpene is myrcene, lending it anti-inflammatory, sleep-supporting, mood-enhancing, stress-relieving, and immune-strengthening properties.
Flavors & Aromas
The experience of Red Pop starts from the moment you lay your eyes and nose on the striking flower. Showcasing deep shades of green and purple underneath a layer of trichomes, Red Pop’s visual appearance is more proof of its quality. And with a whiff, the aroma confirms its top-shelf label as the smell fills up the room. Sweet and sugary scents of berry, fruit, and vanilla further contribute to the premium experience.
